Climbing vertical ice can be a great challenge. Come try your ice climbing skills with us. We guarantee you won't get cold!

In the Slovenian mountains there are many waterfalls, which freeze completely during winter and are suitable for winter ice climbing.

We offer professional guiding, for all levels, to waterfalls in the Julian Alps (the Slovenian and Italian part) and the Kamnik Alps (Slovenia). Climbs will be planned and coordinated based on your skills and experience as well as the current weather and snow/ice conditions. In addition, in order to provide the best quality of service and maximize safety, we provide a 1:2 guide to client ratio. For further information, don't hesitate to contact us.

Ice climbing in Mt. Prisank

Above Slovenia's highest vehicle accessible mountain pass Vršič, Mt. Prisank offers a number of summer and winter activities. There is also a well known legend about a mountain girl “Ajdovska deklica”, who was petrified in the valley below the mountain. You can see her face on the north side of the mountain. In the winter, a huge amphitheatre of frozen waterfalls forms below her. These water falls offer some of the best ice climbing in the Julian Alps.
